Angel Reese’s 3-Word Reaction to Devastating News After Indiana Fever Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The Chicago Sky fell to the Indiana Fever on Saturday evening at United Center. It was the second time this season these two teams have played, both of which resulted in blowout losses for Chicago.
Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark was sidelined for this contest due to a quad injury. Unfortunately for the Sky, they were also dealt an injury blow just minutes into the game. Veteran guard Courtney Vandersloot, who is Chicago’s all-time leader in points, went down with what appeared to be a leg injury.

There was understandable concern among the fanbase about a serious injury, and the Sky have since confirmed that to be the case.
“Courtney Vandersloot underwent an MRI yesterday that revealed a right torn anterior crucial ligament (ACL), an injury she sustained in the June 7th game against Indiana,” the team wrote on X. “Vandersloot will miss the remainder of the 2025 WNBA season and undergo surgery to repair the injury. All of Skytown is behind you Sloot!”
Among those reacting to the news was Sky star Angel Reese who posted a three-word message on her Instagram story:
“LOVE YOU 22,” she wrote.
Vandersloot, now 36 years old, is in her 15th WNBA season. She is a five-time All-Star and seven-time assists champion. While she is no longer in her prime, the veteran still averaged 10.6 points and 5.3 assists in seven games this season, which includes Saturday’s game in which she logged just over four minutes.
